Kheer Milk Pudding
Ingredients:
50% organic whole milk
50% water
2 crushed cardamom seeds
1 tbsp rice (optional)
1 tsp poppy seeds
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ghee
Organic raw sugar to taste (optional)
Dates (optional)
Cashews (optional)
Raisins (optional)
Directions:
Toast poppy seeds in ghee, make a paste or powder.
Add milk and water, poppy seed paste/powder, nutmeg, and cardamom; boil everything to a slightly thick consistency. If too thick, add a little water.
At the end add the sugar, stir well, then add the dates. Serve warm- you can garnish with cashews and raisins toasted in ghee.
If adding 1 tbsp rice, roast the rice and add it to the milk with the rest of the ingredients and boil until the rice cooks, or cook the rice separately and add it to the milk too.
Poppy Seed Halwa
Ingredients:
1 cup poppy seeds
1/4 cup milk (or enough to grind the seeds)
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp ground green cardamom (2 seeds from cardamom pods)
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Directions:
Soak poppy seeds in hot water for 3-4 hours, drain excess water. Grind seeds, adding enough milk to make a smooth paste.
In a pan, add ghee, ground poppy seed paste and cook until you see a shine, meaning it is well-cooked. Keep stirring so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. You can also cook this in a slow cooker or rice cooker.
When it is almost done, add the crushed cardamom (or SVA Kid’s Masala No.5, or SVA Madhur Masala) and nutmeg, cooking for a few more minutes.
Moon Milk
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk (or unsweetened almond, cashew, or hemp milk)
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground turmeric
2 pinches ground cardamom
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground ginger (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/8-1/4 tsp ghee (optional)
1 tsp honey (optional. Raw, if possible)
Directions:
Bring milk to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Whisk in cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg; season with pepper and stir well to break up any clumps.
Add ghee if desired, reduce heat to low, and continue to cook until completely warmed; usually 5–10 minutes though longer cooking produces stronger herbal effects.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in honey only after cooking to retain its intelligence and molecular effects. Pour into a mug and serve- drink warm just before bed.
